Thriller title sequence: Outbreak
Sound
On of the first things you hear in this title sequence is an explosion noise. This gives off that this is a war film and people are getting hurt. As the explosion sound goes on we hear the background track of fast drums, drumming at a beat starting. We are starting to become intrigued with what the title sequence is about. As the title sequence goes into present day, the sound is of little shakers shaking fast. This sound creates suspense as we want to know what is happening. We start to hear people talking and beeping like when a door is locked and you need a special code to unlock the door. Level 2 in the title sequence, the music changes to a low drumming sound. At level 3 the music drops to a light flowy sound. As soon as someone in the title sequence goes into a place that is important the music changes. We hear a lot of diegetic sound e.g. the beepers and the doors opening. We only hear one piece of dialogue 3/4 of the title sequence which suggests that the title sequence is not about people talking a lot. NEar the end of the title sequence when the camera is in the house, there is no music but dialogue from a mans voice. Lastly non-diagetic sound as the man is washing the dog.
Editing
One of the first edit i see in this title sequence is cuts between the explosion scene.
Cinematography
We see wide shots and an areal shot at the start of the title sequence so that we can see that we are in a jungle away from civilization. The camera fast tracks forward outside of the building creating long shots. In this title sequence the camera movements through out are stand stills, tracking forward or backward to give a continuous feel to the title sequence. As the tracking goes on, we see some mid shots but they are quick as the camera movement is moving. We get a semi close op of the authorization gadget the man has to put his finger prints on to enter past a door. Over the shoulder shot is done as we follow closely behind the man that went through the authorized door. A two shot is shown when the man and woman are about to go and see what the unknown diseases are. Lastly a mid shot to show the man bonding and washing his dog.
Mise-en-scene
At the beginning of the title sequence we see a man in a soilders attire on so we assume that this title sequence is about war. Then we see a plan fly past to let us know what maybe someone is on the way to helping all of the people that were in the explosion. We think danger as we see fire and monkeys running away. Guards are shown to tell us that we may be going into a secure building with something valuable kept inside it. everyone in the building is wearing some sort of uniform (like navy wear). People in lab coats are shown to tell us that this title sequence may be set in this lab. The text on the screen tells us where they are and what each room is about. We briefly see some of the equipment that they are using to maybe try and fins a cure for all these diseases. All of the equipment looks advanced and expensive so we get the feel that everything is legit and serious. People in the space suits like, are perhaps in contact with an unknown disease. Lastly at the end of the title sequence we see we are in a house which looks like the person has just moved in due tot he boxes around the place. Two dogs and a man are in his bathroom.
